Updates to Sigoowu Ye Park (Fun Place Park) in Lemon Creek have been completed, and the park opened to the public on Friday, July 31.

The courts at Floyd Dryden will close to the public effective Monday, July 6, as renovations begin. Following the installation of three new sets of net posts, Park Maintenance staff will resurface, paint, and restripe the courts when weather allows. The completed project will result in one shared tennis and pickleball court and two dedicated pickleball courts.
Work is expected to continue through the month of July and may extend into August, depending on weather and contractor scheduling. The courts will remain closed to the public for the duration of the project. Cope Park is open as an alternative location for tennis and pickleball during this time.
